The conference scope covers virtually all the aspects of photoacoustic, photothermal and related research, including theory, instrumentation and all kinds of applications. The topics include but are not limited to:
- theoretical considerations
- light-matter interaction
- instrumentation and methodology
- lasers and other light sources
- spectroscopy, applications in chemistry
- sensors, actuators and industrial applications (including environmental sensors, generation of ultrasound, etc.)
- applications in medicine, biology and agriculture
- imaging (including thermography, tomography, microscopy, depth profiling, etc.)
- ultrafast, micro/nanoscale and nonlinear phenomena
- thermophysics (including characterization of materials)
- other aspects and applications of PA/PT techniques
